How PC Accelerate Pro infected your computer

Untrustworthy applications that claim to improve your system are usually delivered through other programs. Pirated or cracked software, that is repacked on third-party resources, often contains additional offers inside the setup. Because 80% of the users are not paying enough attention to details during the installation, they unintentionally allow third-party software to take over the system. The threat of such omissions is not only with dubious optimization utilities, but adware and browser hijackers that change your settings for malicious goals. This is why you should always check the “Advanced” and “Custom” sections whilst installing a free program. In case you find something not intended to be installed, deselect it to prevent the potential infection.
